The ref bottled it

Chicken,you really need to pay attention..Tell me when John Terry received he's yellow card?
Maybe you need to check before you make yourself look silly.
He was booked for celebrating the 3rd goal.

Dtf, never watched the game, but did Terry celebrate when he scored his 1st goal? Or only when he scored his 2nd? :lol:

If he wants to stop playing, stop, but he seems to be affecting the players around him. Seems quite childish and unprofessional he is after all our captain and representing his country.

In the current ODI series (which they are down 3-0), they have had major decisions go against them that could have and probably would have changed the result in favour of them. The 1st game Bailey was out 1st ball. He was not given out and went on to score a ton. In the 3rd game Maxwell was out in the 40's. He was basically Aus last hope.. He edged it behind, once again given not out. He went on to win the game for Aus... Surely they will come to their senses and realise it is for the best to have DRS....

Indias argument is that there are too many variables and the do have a point. LBW rule. If the umpire says not out and the ball just touches the stumps on the review then it stays not out but on the otherhand if he gave it out and the batter reviews then it remains out. Whenever you play against the Aussies in Australia its best to have the system in place. I was at the ground in Hobart when the Aussies were chasing down against Pakistan. Langer edged the ball to the keeper. The nick was so loud that I even heard it and I was having a pee in the loo at the time. It was back in the 90s when home umpires still stood. It was a joke that he was not given out. Also the Adelaide test when Mark Waugh hit over his stumps against the Proteas and they gave it not out. The explanation was that the ball was dead when he did it. Well the ball had not even reached the fielder when it occurred. Plenty more examples when the Aussies have "gotten" away with it.
